Chapter 40: Moonlit Night Chasing (2/2)



Xia gently lowered her eyes to hide the smug look in her eyes and glanced in the direction of Houyuan Garden.

*

At this time, Houqin Garden was very lively.

It's like having a meeting with small animals.

The squirrel brothers came to visit their relatives and friends nearby, and also found two little sparrows strolling in the garden.

They gathered with Xia Zhining to report the situation.

[I saw a man in a plaid suit climbing up the rope to Room 306!]

A little squirrel said.

[And the rope was put down by the woman living in Room 306!]

[The man climbed up the rope to 306.]

Xia Zhining was shocked when she got this information.

The murderer and the woman knew each other.

Moreover, the murderer entered the woman's room by climbing up the ladder using a rope.

Is this a serious relationship?

For a moment, Xia Zhining even doubted whether the missing Ning Ke was Mr. Ning's grandson.

[They, they even kissed and hugged each other by the window...]

When the other little squirrel said this, he shyly covered his eyes and cheeks with his two paws.

Xia Zhining was touched by the cuteness.

"What happened next? Did he bring a child out?"

Xia Zhining asked.

[Yes, he came down the rope again with the little boy in his arms, and then ran away towards the fountain.]

She asked, "So, what does that man look like?"

"What's your build and height? What's your hairstyle?"

Little Squirrel: [He has short hair and is quite tall, a head taller than you.]

[The face...it's too dark, I can't see it clearly, but the eyes are quite big.]

The other little squirrels also shook their heads: "We didn't see the man's full appearance clearly."

"No, the most important thing now is to find the child."

Xia Zhining gripped the umbrella handle tightly: "Let's go and take a look at the fountain!"

At her command, more than 10 little squirrels and two little sparrows followed her.

[Let's go! Let's catch the murderer~]

[If you find the child, will there be a food reward?]

Brother Squirrel is very clever: [Shh, let’s keep our voices down so as not to scare the murderer away!]

All the little animals became well-behaved instantly, moving quietly and stealthily.

Xia Zhining couldn't help laughing, and her fear of traveling alone at night was dispelled.

Under the guidance of the resident little squirrel, Xia Zhining quickly found the fountain.

The fountain pool is quiet and surrounded by trees.

[Sister Fountain Pond, to the east is a pine forest.]

[There's a wall over there, you can climb over it. Did the murderer escape from there?]

Xia Zhining glanced at the dark woods to the east and said, "Let's go to the east and take a look."

[Sister, don't be afraid, we will lead the way for you!]

The little squirrel took Xia Zhining into the pine forest in the east.

There were no lights in the pine forest and it was pitch black.

In order to prevent the murderer from discovering him, Xia Zhining did not turn on the flashlight and relied on the little squirrel to navigate, and he walked smoothly along the way.

The wall of Songjian Manor can be vaguely seen in the distance.

At this moment, there was a "bang" sound behind Xia Zhining, and the sound of something falling to the ground!
